Atsuko woke up early. Well, if you call waking up slightly before the alarm noise goes off.
Atsuko looked over at her clock and sighed. "Why did I have to wake up a minute or two before my alarm clock goes off?" Atsuko mumbled. I hope today is better than waking up before my alarm clock goes off. Atsuko laid there awake until her alarm went off.
Once her alarm went off, Atsuko forced herself to get up and get ready for her job at Nordstrom (Flagship in downtownn Seattle). More importantly, well important before work began, her morning coffee and pastry from Starbucks. Atsuko couldn't really function without her morning coffee and pastries.
Atsuko had moved to the rainy state of Washington from Japan. She was only seven, but being that young and having to move to the other side of world, let alone a new country. It was more of her aunt and uncle's choice. Her parents had died in an accident. That's what the police had told her aunt and uncle, who were babysitting her at the time.
Atsuko's uncle just about had a heart attack when he heard that his sweet, kind, loving little sister was in some type of accident. That news didn't compare to the news that his niece was now an orphan. He and his wife talked about what they were going to do with their niece and the house. They both agreed that they wouldn't allow Atsuko to end up in foster care.
Her aunt and uncle decided to find a new place to go and take their niece with them. They had settled everything and packed up all the necessary items and moved to another country and hoped to start all over from scratch. Atsuko's family is high end middle class family.
Atsuko walked through the doors of the Flagship office not too far from she lived with her aunt and uncle. She had coffee and her morning pastry. To Atsuko, getting up wasn't as easy compared to other people around her.
It's too early for my shift. At least I can off early and go shopping. The only thing that would make my day anymore interesting and fun would be if a group from Fairy Tail appeared out of nowhere. Atsuko smiled at the thought as she signed into work.
